Mississippi, the least generous state, paid an average $213 a week. Massachusetts, the most generous, paid $555. That means the typical jobless person in Massachusetts gets $1,368 more per month than in Mississippi. So, those same workers in Mississippi and Massachusetts can expect weekly payments of roughly $813 and $1,155 — increases of 282% and 108%, respectively, when compared with the prior status quo.
Senate Republicans struggled to finalize a $1 trillion coronavirus relief bill Wednesday, confronting internal divisions and continued White House demands for a payroll tax cut that most lawmakers oppose.

Some lawmakers are floating the possibility that it could be modified to between $200 and $400 a week, according to The Washington Post.
